Enable find in page. I use Prism to work with a Wiki (without the distractions available in my regular browser). Find would be very useful. 2. Automatically save the favicon. I manually saved the favicons for the webapps that I use. This improves usability (being able to distinguish open Prism windows from each other). It looks like something that could easily be done automatically. 3. Use the app icon for new windows. When I click on a link in a mail in Gmail, it opens a new window. It would be nice if it used the same icon as the original window. That way it would be more obvious what is what just from glancing at the taskbar. Thanks for a great app. It is improving my productivity no end by putting Reddit and Google Reader a little "further out of my reach". Hi Mark,

Thanks for a great app. It is improving my productivity no end by putting Reddit and Google Reader a little “further out of my reach”.

Sadly, it's gone from bad to worse in the GMail rich text editor. Now it's not accepting any input at all. Also, window sizes are not being retained after closing and re-opening.

A couple of suggestions: 1. Maybe someone could shoot an email to the Google Gears team to ask them to create (an unofficial) build of Gears with Mozilla 1.9 so it can work with Prism 0.8? I'm missing my offline mode in Google Reader :) 2. For extension compatibility reasons, please consider changing the id of the status bar to 'status-bar' as in Firefox, instead of 'statusbar'. Also, I think that supporting borderless/translucent/always-on-top windows (as previously suggested) would allow a whole new range of new and interesting applications. Looking forward to next releases! Great job Mark!
